SYMPTOMS

If you press ALT+F4+F6 with several open documents in an application that provides multiple document interface (MDI) support, Windows NT may stop responding (hang). For example, if you start Word for Windows 2.0, start a new document, and type some text but do not save it, by pressing ALT+F4+F6 you can hang Windows NT.
